Almost settled on Colorado's Front Range
We'll I've been here for a little over a month and while I haven't made it into the mountains yet I look longingly at them everyday! I don't have a lot of extra time right now but would love any sugge...

You have great campgrounds within an hour's drive in every direction from Brighton. East of you and north of Ft. Morgan is Jackson Lake State Park (SP), which we just returned from yesterday.
West of you and east of Loveland is Boyd Lake SP and east of Longmont is St. Vrain SP. Along the mountain front are Carter Lake west of Loveland and Horsetooth Reservoir west of Ft. Collins. North of Ft. Collins and west of US 287 are many campgrounds in the Red Feather Lakes area. West of Ft. Collins on CO 14 are many Forest Service campgrounds and, over Cameron Pass, campgrounds in Colorado State Forest.
Others have suggested numerous campgrounds farther west around Estes Park, Nederland, and Granby. To the southwest is Golden Gate Canyon SP. And south of you are Cherry Creek SP and Chatfield Lake SP.
All you need to find public campgrounds near you is the CDOT state highway map. Look for the little green "Christmas tree" campground symbols--they're everywhere around here.
